Chapter 622: Manifestation of the Divine Soul, I’m Not Your Father (1)

Zhou Shu had reached greater mastery in the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form. With a thought, a figure identical to him appeared in front of him.

The figure looked translucent, but it gave off a very life-like feeling.

This was the manifestation of his divine soul, visible to the naked eye.

At this level, even if his physical body was completely destroyed, he could still temporarily survive with his soul.

It was also because of this that Shi Changsheng was able to survive as the Longevity Sword back then. Only with the manifestation of his soul could he become one with the weapon.

Combining one’s soul with a weapon had very stringent requirements.

Without a Grotto-Heaven realm cultivation, there was no need to think about it.

But there was no such high threshold for martial artists to refine their intrinsic divine weapons.

The aftereffects of the divine ability Total Annihilation erupted, and Zhou Shu fell into a weakened state. But he didn’t feel weak. His soul had left his body. Instead, he felt an extremely novel feeling.

His soul moved outside his body for a moment before taking a step forward and fusing with his body. Even though he had reached greater mastery in the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form, his soul couldn’t leave his body for a long time.

Zhou Shu sat cross-legged on the ground. He didn’t even have the strength to move.

The seven corpse puppets had already turned into minced meat on the ground. In Yuheng Valley, only the wind was still whistling. It seemed like there was no danger here anymore.

Zhou Shu stared vigilantly at the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

If there was any other danger in Yuheng Valley, it was this Heaven and Earth Furnace!

He had already gone all over Yuheng Valley, but he still didn’t find anything unusual. He didn’t see the tomb of the enemies of the master of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain that Shi Changsheng had mentioned.

He now suspected that if Yuheng Valley was the tomb of the master of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain, then his corpse was very likely in this Heaven and Earth Furnace!

After leaving its original position, the Heaven and Earth Furnace no longer emitted the sharp aura of wanting to smelt everything, but Zhou Shu could still feel the power lingering within it.

According to his previous experience, he inferred that the Heaven and Earth Furnace would refine all outsiders who entered Yuheng Valley into black and yellow qi and then store all the black and yellow qi inside itself.

After so many years, it was unknown how much black and yellow qi it had stored.

The so-called black and yellow qi was the origin power of everything in the world. It was somewhat similar to the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, but it was more high-end.

Zhou Shu had been attacked by the Heaven and Earth Furnace earlier, and he had used the black and yellow qi to temper his body. Only then had he successfully been reborn and withstood the smelting of the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

Without the black and yellow qi, he probably wouldn’t have been able to withstand it.

If a martial artist could absorb a bit of this high-level energy, it would be extremely beneficial to them.

Think about it. If the corpse of the master of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain was really in this Heaven and Earth Furnace, then after soaking in the black and yellow qi for so many years, his body had probably become a rare heaven and earth treasure.

If it’s used for forging…

Zhou Shu was shocked by himself. This idea was really a little crazy.

If the corpse of the master of Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain was really forged into a weapon, what would it be called?

The Dan Mountain Sword? The Red Water Saber?

Zhou Shu chuckled to himself.

Suddenly, the Heaven and Earth Furnace shook violently, and Zhou Shu’s expression changed.

No way?

Is a corpse coming back to life?

He stared warily at the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

He was currently in a weakened state and had no combat strength at all. If Heaven and Earth Furnace really had a corpse inside and it came back to life, it would be troublesome.

He was definitely an existence at the mercy of others now.

The Heaven and Earth Furnace trembled slightly at first, and then its movements became larger and larger. The extent of its shaking even made Zhou Shu worry that it would roll over.

If not for the fact that he didn’t even have the strength to move, he would have long retreated hundreds of feet away.

Fortunately, although the Heaven and Earth Furnace swayed, it didn’t roll over. Otherwise, if it really hit Zhou Shu’s head, although it wouldn’t kill him, the feeling wouldn’t be good.

Plop—

Zhou Shu heard the sound of collision in the Heaven and Earth Furnace. From the sound, it seemed to be full of water.

There seemed to be a heavy object in the water, constantly colliding with the inner wall of the furnace.

Zhou Shu was extremely curious about what was in the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

But now, he was so weak that he could barely move his fingers. He had no strength to get up to take a look.

Bang!

The Heaven and Earth Furnace shook for a moment before suddenly bouncing up.

It jumped like a rabbit, getting farther and farther away from Zhou Shu!

Zhou Shu frowned slightly.

Divine weapons had spirits. Although they didn’t have the intelligence of humans, they could still act instinctively.

This Heaven and Earth Furnace was definitely a connate divine weapon. Its current actions looked like it was returning to its nest…

The nest of the Heaven and Earth Furnace was where Zhou Shu had carried it away.

That place seemed to be the dragon eye of Yuheng Valley. When the Heaven and Earth Furnace was there, it could use the power of Yuheng Valley to continuously refine everything in the world.

Now, the Heaven and Earth Furnace clearly wanted to return there.

It’s indeed a little strange, Zhou Shu thought.

He wanted to stop it, but he was powerless.

Fortunately, the Heaven and Earth Furnace didn’t jump fast. It would probably take a day and a half to jump back to that place.

At that time, Zhou Shu should be able to recover.

Without thinking too much about it, he closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, wanting to recover from his weakened state as soon as possible. Without Yin Wuyou by his side, getting through this weakened state became somewhat torturous.

In the future, unless absolutely necessary, he couldn’t easily use Total Annihilation.
